NECK PAIN
The neck, also known as the cervical spine, starts at the base of the skull and contains seven small vertebrae. The neck supports the full weight of the head — averaging in at 12 pounds. The neck is amazing, as it allows the head to turn in just about every direction. This mobility and flexibility also leaves it at risk for injury and pain.
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of neck pain may include:
- Pain that’s worsened by holding your head in one place for extended periods of time
- Muscle tightness
- Muscle spasms
- Limited range of motion
- Headaches
- Back pain
Neck pain is one of the most common symptoms doctors of chiropractic treat. The American Chiropractic Association states these are some of the common causes of neck pain:
- Injury and Accidents: Whiplash is a common injury that leads to neck pain. It can cause muscles to tighten, spasm, or strain. If you suspect you have whiplash due to a car accident or injury, the sooner you can be seen, the better. Most doctors recommend getting treated within 24 hours of the incident.
- Growing Older: Degenerative disorders that occur with age directly impact the neck and spine’s health.
- Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a common joint disorder that leads to progressive deterioration of cartilage. When this happens, the body responds by forming bone spurs that limit range of motion and may cause pain.
- Spinal Stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the nerve passageways in the vertebrae narrow. This compresses and traps nerve roots, causing neck, shoulder, and arm pain. It may even cause numbness.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: DDD causes discs to bulge or herniate. This can lead to numbness, tingling, or pain that radiates into the arm.
- Stress: When you’re stressed, it causes the muscles in your neck to tighten. This creates trigger points along your neck that can lead to pain.
- Daily Life: The neck is used every second of every day. Poor posture, obesity, poor balance, bad sleep positions, you name it — they can also lead to neck pain.
Chiropractic care seeks to treat neck pain at its source. Neck pain is not normal, and shouldn’t be accepted as a daily part of your life. Read on for how chiropractic care treats neck pain!
